Sustainable engineering practice
Three sustainable engineering assessments exploring how engineering decisions change when environmental, economic and social criteria are considered together, through a beverage packaging lifecycle analysis and two regional energy studies.
Packaging lifecycle
A video comparison of a PET bottle and an aluminium can, considering the lifecycle perspective behind a material choice.
Coonabarabran energy options
Compared wind-turbine and battery combinations for a regional energy scenario. HOMER Pro results supported a multi-criteria assessment of cost, emissions and wider community impacts, with comparisons between dispatch strategies and a sensitivity study of energy pricing.
Upper Hunter energy systems
Studied regional energy demand and a mix of solar, wind and storage. Economic, environmental, social and ethical considerations were brought into the comparison alongside system modelling and sensitivity analysis.
